VALLEY FORGE, Pa.--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Today, IntrinsiQ Specialty Solutions and ION Solutions, both a part of
AmerisourceBergen, announced the launch of AdvanceIQ Network, a resource
designed to better match independent community oncology and urology
practices with clinical trials and research opportunities. Through
AdvanceIQ Network, these practices in the U.S. will have a more
streamlined approach to identifying, qualifying for and enrolling in
targeted clinical trials that offer groundbreaking treatment options for
improved patient outcomes.

“By leveraging our expertise and
network to connect our urology and oncology providers to new trials,
AdvanceIQ can truly make an impact in supporting broader access to
innovative research in a community setting.”

AdvanceIQ will be made available to more than 5,300 community specialty
providers that are a part of ION Solutions and will help eliminate
barriers that can prevent participation in clinical trials, including
limited resources or time. Practices select the types of research in
which they would like to participate, as well as provide access to
de-identified patient information. Clinical trial developers can then
leverage the AdvanceIQ Network to find practices treating patients who
meet specific trial criteria. This offering not only enhances clinical
trial matching and leverages new innovative trial recruitment solutions,
but also increases patient access to the most advanced therapies and
treatment strategies.

“The launch of AdvanceIQ Network addresses one of healthcare’s biggest
challenges – access. As specialty care continues to grow, it’s
critically important we create new pathways, through both innovation and
partnerships, to connect patients to cutting-edge therapies found in
clinical trials,” said Susan Weidner, Senior Vice President at IntrinsiQ
Specialty Solutions.

AdvanceIQ Network will help to facilitate clinical trials, investigator
research, prospective patient registries, retrospective outcomes
research studies and panel studies. Participating practices and their
physicians will also receive contract management resources, ongoing
research education and training and grant submission support.

“We are constantly striving to provide exceptional support for patients,
as well as providers, in order to drive better outcomes and ultimately
enhance care,” said Vicki Albrecht, PhD, Senior Vice President and
General Manager at ION Solutions. “By leveraging our expertise and
network to connect our urology and oncology providers to new trials,
AdvanceIQ can truly make an impact in supporting broader access to
innovative research in a community setting.”
